<HTML>don't worry dave, I know few people with exactly my taste in films...
The last i've seen were Bowling for Columbine, Morvern Callar and Donnie Darko if this gives some indication...
But maybe I didn't like Insomnia because I like memento and following so much... and this was just a major let-down</HTML>

<HTML>Loved <I> Amelie</I>...Audrey Tatou was angelic! And I love the use of color and shapes. A photographer/cinematographer's dream! Story was great too.
Another great flick for cinematography is <I>A Walk In The Clouds</I>. Granted, Keanu Reeves pretty much sucks for dialog (which he, thankfully, did not have much of) but he sure is pretty. And the story is quite nice. But I think that is one of the best lit pieces of film work I've seen in a while. That and <I>Legends Of The Fall</I>. Excellent back-lighting really makes for a romatically surreal piece of film.
Don't remember Sam Neill in either one of those, though. LOL</HTML>

<HTML>I liked the Rodents of Unfeasible Size. Mostly becuase I like almost anything that has the word unfeasible in it.</HTML>

<HTML>Best looking film for me was Crouching Tider Hidden Dragon - like a dream the whole way through. Wouldn't say it was the best film I'd ever seen though.</HTML>

<HTML>I've never quite managed to recapture the magic of the cinema since I was a kid; the first film I ever saw was Thunderbirds Are Go, which was <I>fantastic</I>. Everything else has been a bit of an anticlimax, really. The LotR wasn't bad though, but slightly ruined by a) me muttering 'that wasn't in the book' all the way through, and b) my missis jumping like a startled ewe every time something scary happened ... even when I'd told her something scary was about to happen.</HTML>

<HTML>Sod the spelling - it was a great film from a visual asthetic point of view....
LoTR was pretty damned good - the DVD version is better though as there's even more of the book in it. The Twin towers seems to be getting a fair amount of praise - and Gollum is going to cause the Oscars' Committee a few problems.</HTML>

<HTML>I thought so too. Going to see "The Two Towers" next week - one of my very rare visits to the cinema. But I've told Wilfred he can't come along, because it would probably scare the hic out of him.</HTML>
